Muriel Wilson
Born 1892

Muriel Wilson was born in Chicago on July 21, 1892. She studied art at the Crystal Palace and the Central School of Arts and Crafts.

Wilson was known as a watercolorist, painter and print maker. She exhibited at the Paris Salons as well as the Royal Institute of painters in watercolor and the Royal Society of British Artists. She lived in London.

Wilson’s paintings of the 1930s exhibited the strong influence of the Parisian moderns. The stylization of André Lhote, which was pervasive among young artists in Paris between the wars, is visible in Wilson’s paintings. Her large bold canvases express the confidence of this accomplished artist.
